You guys don’t get why VGK likes Hill better than Thompson. Hill is a playoff performer he thrives when the games matter most and kinda sucks when there isn’t a challenge. Thompson is the opposite, he folded up like Swiss cheese on a hot day during the playoffs last season. Dude had happy pads and looked scared as hell against Dallas. Took him 2 or 3 games to close the 5 hole then let them bank multiple shots off his head. Hill came in the last 2 games and tied a record for highest save percentage in the playoffs (minimum 15 games) .931.
Goalie market is interesting, as is Hill's history. The endgame could be to see how Samsonov pans out with the hope that Schmid can take a major step forward.
Canadian analysts from Sports Center are saying monti pick is bc they looking ahead for Olympics and future competitions, that’s why he was picked over Logan T
Hertl’s value will be in front of the net in the playoffs, and critical faceoffs. They can afford him being unproductive for now.
Hard to say they aren’t a cup contender as of today, they have the 2nd most points at 37 right behind the wild at 38

Hill had a great 3 week run in the Stanley Cup run. Beyond that, Hill's and Thompson's numbers are identical.
Echel continues to roll . Has anyone seen Mc David lately ? Nowhere to be found . 😮😮😮
McDavid is around. McDavid is only 6 points behind Eichel despite playing 5 fewer games.
Have to agree but would add Drysitall to the equation both totaling 26,000,000 a year and doing nothing to create any impact .
SORRY $ 33,000,000 A YEAR
Not going to lie...gonna feel weird seeing Eichel going against Stone, Hill
That's part of the draw
If they can play East Coast style hockey. They might have a chance DEFENSE!
They need to lock up Hill sooner than later before he tests out the market.

No way I would commit over $5 million to Hill who will probably get $6-$7 mill or more!!!
